A former WWE star has discussed rehabbing from injuries.
At IMPACT Slammiversary, Lio Rush defeated Chris Sabin to win the IMPACT X-Division Championship. Since then, Rush had been sidelined with an injury, but he will make his return to the ring at NJPW All Star Junior Festival USA on August 19.
From his time on the independent scene and Ring of Honor to his runs in WWE and AEW, Rush has dealt with many injuries, but he has always returned back to action.
Speaking to Darren Paltrowitz on the Paltrocast, Lio Rush was asked about his rehab process when it comes to injuries. He answered:
“Slow and steady wins the race, but I’ve never stopped moving. Never stopped moving. A lot of care goes into taking care of my body now.”
“A lot of rehab, a lot of therapy, a lot of cryotherapy. I’m actually going to train in this ring and then head to cryotherapy after this.”
“I have to keep up with my body and keep up with my nutrition. I’m very particular and strict about what I put in my body. Those two play a huge part in me being able to do what I do today.”
When asked about his upcoming schedule for IMPACT Wrestling, Lio replied:
“As of right now, that’s the way it looks like,”
“New York is coming up, Toronto is coming up, Philly is coming up. I would imagine, if I’m the champion, I will be there, and I imagine that I will be the champion. We’ll see.”
Lio Rush will also be competing at this Sunday’s IMPACT Wrestling x NJPW Multiverse United 2: For Whom The Bell Tolls when he will team up with Trey Miguel to face Speedball Mike Bailey and IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion Hiromu Takahashi.
